Ethical Philosophy 2306 essay writing | Homework Writings Help

I’m trying to study for my Philosophy course and I need some help to understand this question.

Hello, please I need help in my ethic philosophy 2306 essay writing of about 1000 words. I’ll appreciate a good job from any of the tutor that wiould assist me in this work. Below are the instructions to the assignment.

Before doing this assignment, make sure to review the two Moral Frameworks The Good– which is Utilitarianism (Morality based on Good or Bad Consequences)– and The Right– which is Deontology (Morality based on Duty and Rights). Information on both is in Burnor & Raley, Ch. 6, 7 & 8.

For this assignment we will use a thought experiment like the Trolley problem we discussed in class.

Suppose you are a train conductor on a runaway train. The train heads straight for five men who will not have time to get out of the way, and your train will kill them. But! You notice there is a track going to the right, and you have just enough time to pull the lever and turn onto that track. There is one person on that track who will die just as assuredly as the five would if you stayed on their track. Should you head to the right?

You will write an essay of approximately 1000 words which describes what you think John Stuart Mill (or Bentham) would recommend that you do in the train scenario, what Immanuel Kant would do in the train scenario, and what you would do in the train scenario and why you would choose to do that. This paper requires that you use in-text citations for any quotations you include and that you create a references page citing all of the references that you quote in the paper. You may use MLA style citations (a guide to these can be found here).

Use the following guidelines to structure your paper. This is a kind of fill-in-the-blanks guide to writing this paper. Include the sentences in bold italic word for word in your paper. You will need several of your own sentences in addition to those provided below.

Introduction (1 or 2 paragraphs):

Your introductory paragraph should have the following (not necessarily in this order).

A. Thesis statement- You should state what you think is best to do in the situation described by the scenario. I think I should___________________. Fill in the blank with either divert the train to the right killing one person or not divert the train to the right even though this will result in the death of five people.

B. Background for the thesis. This should include mentioning that you will be evaluating what Utilitarianism and Deontology say about this thought experiment and a brief description of the thought experiment.

C. Plan of the Paper. It might help your reader to tell them how your paper will go. Something like: “I will begin by describing what John Stuart Mill would have me do in this situation. Next, I will contrast that with what Kant’s moral theory

Body Part I:

• John Stuart Mill would probably want me to ____________________,

• because _[explain one or more of the primary principles of Utilitarianism and how he would apply it to the train scenario to decide what I should do].

• As he says, “[pick a quote from your text that illustrates that specific principle]” (cite it too) and explain what the quote means in your own words,

• His reasoning here plants him firmly within the Moral Framework called “The ____________,” where morality is judged by looking at _______________________________

[Hint: the first blank should be either “good” or “right” and the second blank ought to be “consequences of our actions” or “what we have a duty to do.”]

Note: Mill largely agrees with Bentham and its probably the case that the higher v lower pleasures distinction is not relevant to this essay.

Body Part II:

• On the other hand, Kant reasons from framework called “The ___________,” where morality is measured by considering _________________
• [Hint: the first blank above should be either “good” or “right” and the second blank ought to be “consequences of our actions” or “what we have a duty to do.”]

• Thus, he would most likely tell me to ___________________

• For one thing, Kant’s moral theory requires us to follow the Categorical Imperative: [pick one of the formulations of the CI and offer Kant’s statement of it]” . (cite it too). (I’m asking for the principle of ends or the principle of universal law).
• What Kant means here is ______________________

• So, you can see that he is primarily concerned about _________________________ and he would probably conclude that I should ________________.

Body Part III:

• Personally, I think I should _______________________

• Even though I might share some of the values underlying _________’s position, like __________________________,

• I nevertheless would decide to _________________________________

• because __________________________________.

• My reasoning here seems to fall under the framework called “The __________” (or neither) because I am primarily focused on _________________________________

Conclusion:

Briefly summarizes your paper and reminds the reader of your thesis and how your argued for it.
